Great balls of ceramic
a glass-encapsulation technology licensed from ACC of Robertsfors, Sweden. The technique forms balls in diameters from 1 to >100 mm, rollers, and raceways, and is patterned after conventional pressed and sintered ceramic component manufacturing to minimize cost. Powder compacts made from spray

Great balls of ceramic
and sintered ceramic component manufacturing to minimize cost. Powder compacts made from spray-dried raw materials are encapsulated in glass and hot isostatically pressed at pressures near 2,000 bar and temperatures exceeding 1,800 C. Removing the glass leaves a net-shape ball blank. The resulting

Thermal spray: Better performance for less
. Thermal-spray coatings of metallic, carbide, ceramic, or cermet material are said to perform as well or better than parts produced in the same materials for a significantly lower investment. Thermally coated parts are also more resilient where extreme heat, wear, or corrosion can degrade conventional

Hard-Coating Removal That s Easy on the Environment
what you need to know. The AWJ process works especially well on tough coatings that see extreme environments, like molybdenum- chromium-aluminum-yttrium (MCrAlY) ceramic thermal-barrier coatings (TBCs) that protect superalloys in gas turbines. Despite careful engineering of the coatings, intermediate

Colorful durable surface graphics
and roll-pressed through heated cylinders transferring the dyes into synthetic textiles in a process referred to as "heat-setting.". In the 1990s more advanced sublimation technologies developed letting designers decorate flat and cylindrical hard substrates, such as ceramic mugs and tiles, sheet substrates

Space-Age Enhancement Coating Solves Aluminum Longeron Failures On T-38 Jets
this multiple-step, high-tech surface enhancement process, the aluminum longerons are first cleaned and prepared using proprietary processes. The TUFRAM process converts the aluminum surface to aluminum oxide (Al2O3H2O) and replaces the H2O of the newly formed ceramic surface with inert polymeric
